Bradley himself is a revelation. He’s dropped his voice to achieve a grizzled effect as a man resigned to, and trapped by, his stardom.

Pop singer Lady Gaga is quite good as the wife... she subtly and convincingly manages the character's transformation from vulnerable ingenue to self-confident celebrity.

The final act is a three-hankie affair, but every sniffle is earned.

This A Star is Born may not become a classic outside of the context of this story’s long Hollywood history, but I suspect that when the next filmmaker comes up with their reinvention in however many decades, this one will be fondly and warmly remembered.

It was actually 'A Star Is Born' (1976) with Barbra Streisand & Krist Krisrofferson. This was the best version. Way better than the 2018 Lady Gaga. I LOVE Barbra Streusand. Music was wonderful. Acting wonderful.
